On the night of the lecture.
In fact, even if it was only once a week, it would take less than a year to learn the introductory content of programming language. But in this year, the people who learned the tool of programming language P were not completely without experience. Take, for example, the calculator project that Juan Javier and Eli Huber started and completed.
There were more and more people who thought about what programming language P could do instead of the war use of the magic tower and realized it.
The increase in these people naturally meant that they had experience. And when they had experience, they would want to find some like-minded companions to discuss … or show off their achievements.
After finishing the introductory content, Lin simply changed the lecture into a seminar format. At first, no one was willing to go on stage, and Lin had to take the initiative to invite others to express their experience on the same stage and discuss with interested people. The first person to be arrested was, of course, the great magician in front of him – Juan Javier.
Fortunately, this Great Magician had a flamboyant personality. If he had any achievements, he would not hide them. He would want the whole world to know about his achievements. So he became the second man after Lin to stand on stage and show off his achievements.
And by doing so, he didn't just show off his achievements for free. The ticket fee paid by the people who came to listen to the lecture, after deducting the rental of the venue, the cleaning fees, and the people who came to help with various chores, including the salaries of the apprentices and Lin as the organizer, all went into Juan Javier's pocket.
In this way, it could be said that a great magician gained both fame and fortune. With such an example in front, it naturally made the latecomers scramble like ducks. Originally, they had to beg their grandparents and ask someone to support them through the lecture time every week, but now the list of applicants for the lecture had been long. The content of the lecture had to be reviewed by several magicians led by the academy, and some of the content that didn't have anything to say was directly eliminated.
Although the list was very long, and it seemed that it wouldn't be finished until next year. But what was everyone playing now? Programming language. Yesterday's new learning was outdated today. It was normal for this new learning in this mysterious land. Therefore, every week after the end of the lecture, those who were willing to go on stage to give a lecture would revise their topic based on the discussion thread in the forum, as well as submit the lecture outline.
In the spirit of Earth's open source, coupled with the Lost Land's open attitude towards magical knowledge, Language P was like a fish in water here, developing rapidly. This was also because the threshold for entry was very low. Those who were interested in learning and using Language P would at most buy a set of Language P textbooks from the Society of Sorcerers.
The execution environment of the program, the basic P language program, was placed on the forum, allowing people to download, copy, and use it. Even if it was a commercialized project, the two creators had never thought of getting a share of the profits. To be honest, Fen had only released the old version, so it wouldn't hurt anyone to use it.
It was precisely because of this attitude that most people who learned Language P did not keep it to themselves. Instead, they openly discussed and exchanged their experiences with others.
As for the programming language, those who initially had designs on it only wanted to monopolize the tool used to build the Tower of the Great Sage. However, they had been made a fool of by a method that was almost equivalent to making it public for free, so they temporarily gave up.
When Juan Javier's Lost Land version of the electronic calculator appeared, almost all the members of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as the financial management personnel of the nobles and the royal family, used Language P for their daily use. This once again brought this set of programming language into the eyes of the world. Then, a luxury item like the pocket watch appeared out of nowhere, and no one could sit still anymore.
Then came the automatic clock device designed by Lin in the academy, which ignited the imagination of all the mages and non-mages who had ideas about programming language. The combination of all kinds of programs and strange items emerged one after another.
The first to appear were various devices used by potion makers that stirred, heated, and poured at regular intervals. The structure was very simple, but it directly turned the handicraft of potion making into an automatic industry.
Then, various magic puppet components that could be used to perform simple actions were continuously produced and put on the market. One of the main reasons for this development was due to the fact that magic puppets, a traditional craft of magic, had undergone a natural change after the greatest obstacle in the past had been overcome.
To drive a magic puppet, not only did it have to be made with precious magic materials, but the most troublesome thing was to be able to drive a magic puppet's core consciousness. It could be a soul, or it could be some kind of elemental transformation, but its name was not allowed to be mentioned so easily. And to maintain these existences, if they were willing to stay in the body of a magic puppet, they would be rewarded differently depending on the other party.
Now that programs were used to drive magic puppets, there were fewer special existences that needed to be maintained, and the consumption of magic puppets was immediately reduced to a level that most mages could accept. Especially for some simple actions, there was no need to create a complete magic puppet at all.
The most exaggerated thing was that someone had developed a flying tool, such as a broom, a magic carpet, and so on. It had the function of automatically avoiding obstacles, in addition to being able to locate its destination by using a map … In the Lost Land, a world where even the modern concept of a "car" did not exist, there was actually a "self-driving car"! How exaggerated and unscientific this was.
But those who were jealous and wanted to use robber's methods to gain benefits had to consider that they were eyeing a piece of meat in the Lich's bowl. This was a completely different concept from the previous master of the Magic Tower who was hiding in the Magic Tower.
No matter how strong the Magic Tower was, Guebrach Tripwood's own strength was not taken seriously. He could only rely on the Magic Tower as a passive defense. But the Lich, who was once known as the Demon King, had the ability to take the initiative to attack and kill in all directions.
Those who had once doubted Fanny Tikal's strength had all been sent out to investigate, and there was no news of them. Even those who did not believe in heresy felt their scalps go numb. If these people died, then it would be fine; if they were caught and sold out, then wouldn't they have to worry about the revenge of a great mage all day long?
In short, that mage would still attend the nobles' gatherings every week as if nothing had happened. And the enviable benefits of the P language were still squandered by the open source attitude of the people.
Even the most ambitious people had to consider that if they wanted to change the status quo, unless the two creators were controlled by them, they would push them to the table and lead them to gather the benefits, then it would be possible to suppress the opposition to the minimum. Under other circumstances, it would be equivalent to going against the entire group of mages, and dying without a burial place would be a small matter.
The root cause of all this was not a man who was deprived of the right to control the Magic Tower, but the ever-changing beauty with temperament and appearance. It was precisely because of this that the group led by Countess Jaeger, who had always been against Fanny, and including the elven sword dancer Liana Titov, had been greatly weakened during this period of time. Especially after a certain suitor of Fanny's made his attitude clear.
King Steiner III of the Zlin Kingdom was the only one of the three kings who stayed in Wutu City, and he became the most powerful suitor of Fanny Tikal. Of course, a certain man was ignored. In fact, since they entered the social circle of Wutu City, Zlin had always been ignored.
In the eyes of most people, the relationship between the two was more like a queen and a servant, a demon king and a lackey. As long as they put in more effort, they could even take the former demon king away from that man. This was the common thought of all the suitors. In this regard, neither of them explained, or it should be said that it was useless even if they explained … A country bumpkin and a phoenix, no matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
The other two kings, Queen Yulia III of the Kingdom of Franks and King Gruber I of the Kingdom of Reunion, returned to their respective countries after discussing their respective needs with the academy.
Although in the winter of the year 727 of the Arlan calendar, Lin rarely stood on the podium as a lecturer, and he gave the opportunity to others. But on this day, he stood on the podium and faced the crowd again. The content of the lecture was, of course, not the introductory content of Language P. Instead, it was the "communication protocol" related to the forum and mail.
Before the lecture, all the people who developed the Language P project thought in the direction of the combination of physical objects and programs. To be honest, Lin Feng had a feeling that the programming skill tree of the land of mystery was a little crooked again.
In the late spring of the year 728, various applications of Language P sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but those programs could only be regarded as the most superficial, independent, and unrelated applications. And until now, no one had been able to complete projects such as the forum and the browser. In view of the incessant pleas, Lin finally brought out the parts of the browser source code that no one could understand.
This explanation made everyone understand that programming was one of the most important concepts in most fields of learning: a unified standard, or in other words, an agreement. Only a unified standard could allow others to continue to expand on a certain basis.
Before this, all the people who learned programming languages did their own things. Sometimes, even the original author did not come out to explain, and no one could figure out what the content of the program code was doing. But a unified standard could allow everyone's wisdom to be developed in the same direction.
However, in Lin's eyes, the only feeling he had was that these discussions did not even touch the edge of the program. Without an operating system to integrate one program after another, these independently designed and operated works, no matter how unified the standards were, were just a joke.
The execution environment of Language P was more like the existence of a compiled program, not an operating system. Even if the concept of "agreement" was released, everyone would only focus on creating a second or third forum, or a second or third mail, or a shopping mall system.
But for Lin, the only one who knew, or Fen, who only understood half of it under someone's explanation, the others did not know how to develop a programming language. However, a certain someone did not want to release such a concept. Should it be said that the time was not ripe, or was he too busy? Even if the person doing it was not himself, he did not want to spend all his remaining time answering questions.
